I have been out of touch with the computer world for the past couple years, but I remember there were benchmarking/stability tools to burn-in a computer that you could let run for 24Hrs or whatever to push the computer to it's limits and test the system stability.

I just got my new laptop and I would like to test it's stability before too much time goes on.

Any responses are appreciated.

Thanks.

Again, what I am more concerned with is the stability testers. I can find benchmark tools... most of which you have to pay for.
